The Front Panel
The Router’s LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.
POWER
Blue/Red. The POWER LED lights up blue when the Router is powered on. If the blue LED is 
flashing, the Router is booting up or upgrading its firmware. If the LED lights up red, then 
disconnect the power, and wait five seconds. Then reconnect the power.
ETHERNET 1-4
Blue. The ETHERNET LED lights up when there is an active connection through the 
corresponding port. If the LED is flashing, then there is traffic moving through that port.
WIRELESS
Blue. The WIRELESS LED lights up when there is an active wireless connection. If the LED is 
flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over the wireless network.
PHONE 1-2
Blue. The PHONE LED is solidly lit when a telephone or fax machine has an active or 
registered connection to your Internet phone service provider through the corresponding 
port (PHONE 1 or 2). It flashes when the phone is being used or is off the hook.
INTERNET
Blue. The INTERNET LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or DSL 
modem. If the LED is flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over the Internet port.
